The file from which I load this second, larger, volume is actually a concatenation of several files, and I just tried loading one of the files separately and it worked fine (the rendering looks as expected). So something is probably wrong in the script I use for concatenating HDF5 files. I'll do some digging there.<br><br></div><div>Elvis<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>Elvis<br></div></font></span><div><br></div><div>PS. If you're confused by the range of the vtkAxisActor that you see in the screenshots, when comparing to the the volume sizes I stated above, it's because my custom render currently hardcodes the spacing to 0.2.
